Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

Wohl dir, Israel! Wer ist dir gleich? O Volk, das du durch den HERRN selig wirst, der deiner Hilfe Schild und das Schwert deines Sieges ist! Deinen Feinden wird's fehlen; aber du wirst auf ihren Höhen einhertreten.
Bienaventurado tú, oh Israel, ¿Quién como tú, Pueblo salvo por Jehová, Escudo de tu socorro, Y espada de tu excelencia? Así que tus enemigos serán humillados, Y tú hollarás sobre sus alturas.
Que tu es heureux, Israël! Qui est comme toi, Un peuple sauvé par l'Eternel, Le bouclier de ton secours Et l'épée de ta gloire? Tes ennemis feront défaut devant toi, Et tu fouleras leurs lieux élevés.
Beato te, Israele. Quale è il popolo pari a te, Salvato dal Signore, Ch’è lo scudo della tua salvezza, E la spada della tua altezza? Laonde i tuoi nemici s’infingeranno inverso te, E tu calcherai i loro alti luoghi
Bem-aventurado tu, ó Israel! Quem é como tu? Um povo salvo pelo SENHOR, o escudo do teu socorro, e a espada da tua majestade; por isso os teus inimigos te serão sujeitos, e tu pisarás sobre as suas alturas.
以色列 啊,你有福了! 蒙耶和華拯救的百姓啊,誰能像你? 他是幫助你的盾牌, 是你威榮的刀劍。 你的仇敵要屈身就你; 你卻要踐踏他們的背脊 。」
